#VeerappanTheTruthAboutTheKillingOfVeerappan(Hindi) Rating: * * RGV’s umpteenth attempt to glorify criminality, this one, a sort of biopic about the escape artist criminal who savaged over 194 people including police officers and massacred over 900 elephants for their ivory and subsequently eluded the entire police force of three states, doesn’t get beyond sketchy and gimmicky. Camerawork is the usual weird angled and dizzying, Sound is cacophonic while writing and performances are pretty much amateurish. #RamGopalVermaFilms #TheCompany #ViikingMediaAndEntertainment #TSeries #SandeepBhardwaj #SachinJoshi #LisaRay #AAFilmsNationwide #Ibrahim #PearlMedia Runtime: 128 mins

#Frederick (Hindi) Rating: * * ½ B grade psychological action thriller with no pretensions, this one works it’s way through plenty of mayhem before it can deliver it’s fait accompli. Script is a little loose but performances are solid. Especially the lead #AvinashDhyani who impresses with his charismatic intensity. It’s interesting but not thrilling. Convoluted plotting, Songs and flash backs act as a dampener to the enjoyment though.. #MTarun #EvanaEntertainment #RajeshButalia #ManishKaralia #MK #TulnaButalia #PrashanttNarayanan #AvinashDhyani #DwaparCommunications #HimanshuJhunjhunwala Runtime: 125 mins

#Waiting(Hindi) Rating: * * * coming together in grief, this film about two people stymied by tragedy, trying to cope with the different stages of grief and loss before coming to terms with their lot. Does destiny offer them some hope that their lives may after all get back on track? The script may be a bit hollowed out but the performances, camerawork and amiable chemistry between the two lead actors lends it quite a bit of heft. #KalkiKoechlin #NaseeruddinShah #ArjunMathur #SuhasiniManiratnam #RajatKapoor #ParullGossainPR #AnuMenon #PritiGupta #ManishMundra #IshkaFilms #DrishyamFilms Runtime: 98 mins

#Phobia(Hindi) Rating: * * * A potent Psycho-thriller. Using Agoraphobia as the tool to create a psychotic drama full of possibilities, the #RaginiMMS director #PavanKripalani dreams up quite a strong turbulence before letting us know that there’s much more than the obvious, staring you in the face. Smart, intelligent & thrilling, aided by superb theatrics from the lead cast. #NextGenFilms #ErosInternational #PavanKripalani #VickiRajani #SunilLulla #RadhikaApte #SatyadeepMishra #YashaswiniDayama #AnkurVikal #JayakrishnaGummadi #PoojaLadhaSurti #DanielBGeorge Runtime: 95 mins
